the inactivist
Insomniac Press, 2003
159 pp.
Set in a future where buying advertising space on children's teeth is not uncommon, the inactivist is the story of Kitchen, a guy who's given up trying. Nothing matters: work, romance, the world. His co-workers have even formed an Inactivist group to stop all change. Only when Kitchen meets Gage does he rethink the idea that "trying is for suckers."
A social satire of corporate North America, the inactivist is reminiscent of the novels of Chuck Palhaniuk and Douglas Coupland. Eaton's slick pacing and consummate storytelling skills are sure to please.
From the catalogue. Read more about the inactivist at the Insomniac Press website.
